Style #210527

Stand up to Mother Nature with the reliable protection of this wind- an water-resistant, essential piece. No detail was overlooked from welded, reflective seaming to stretch thermal side panels for a totally winterized workout.

Purchased running gear online for the first time. Have a Brooks lighter weight jacket in the same line in a large so I ordered the same size. Way too tight. Based on what I saw it would have been the right jacket for me however it looked like an ex-large would have been too long in the sleeve.I returned it immediately.

I like to use this product when it's cold out for running. This product works so well that I got a second one (one for my DC apartment, another for my DE house). It's a snug fit, which I like. I typically wear a breathable lycra layer underneath, and it keeps me warm and insulated against the chill. I love the extra hand protection as well. Spares me from wearing gloves. Jacket has a well-positioned phone pocket on the chest which allows me to listen to tunes while running. Haven't tried it for cycling yet, but it's on my to-do list.

This is a pretty good jacket for winter running. I use it in 25 degrees and below. It keeps me warm, but it's not quite as breathable as I'd like. The fit is great and it's very comfortable. It'll keep you warm with just a t-shirt underneath down to 0-5 degrees.

The sleeve is a bit long if you wear gloves with it and the two get bunched up a bit.

I bought this jacket hoping that it would be a nice addition to my arsenal of running wardrobe. I have not seen it in stores, so it was a blind purchase. When I got it, I was pleasantly surprised. It fits really well and looks amazing. I found myself wearing it for everyday purposes. It does keep you warm, yet still breathes well. The cuffs have mittens that fold out for cold weather, which is a nice benefit. The cut of the jacket is "fitted" and holds close to the body. The front pockets are small but usable. The outer material is weather (wind and rain) resistant (could be weather proof...have not tested it yet).
